Paris Grand Mosque Rector Refers Saint‑Cricq’s France Info Remark to Arcom

The move targets a France Info exchange linking a supposed “Muslim vote” to antisemitism.

Overview

  • Chems‑Eddine Hafiz said he has referred the broadcast to Arcom after calling Nathalie Saint‑Cricq’s comments extremely serious.
  • During a December 3 interview on France Info, Saint‑Cricq tied talk of antisemitism around LFI to “the quest for the Muslim vote,” saying, “La quête du vote musulman aussi.”
  • Guest Alexis Corbière immediately challenged the link, asking “Quel est le rapport?” as Saint‑Cricq affirmed “Ah oui” when pressed on whether some seek that vote by being antisemitic.
  • Left‑wing figures including Manuel Bompard and Olivier Faure condemned the association as islamophobic, and an online petition is calling for Saint‑Cricq’s dismissal.
  • Arcom has not issued a public response, and Hafiz frames the referral as part of his broader pattern of complaints to the regulator over perceived muslimophobic media remarks.
